County re-indicts Messer

A Potter County grand jury re-indicted former Potter County Tax Assessor-Collector Danny Messer on three counts Wednesday, according to information released by the District Clerk's Office.

Messer was re-indicted for misapplication of fiduciary property, tampering with a government record and theft by a public servant.

Messer was arrested May 22, 2001, on a felony charge of theft by a public servant stemming from a grand jury indictment.

Messer, who remains free on bond, was arrested again in October after a grand jury indicted him on six felony counts of misapplication of fiduciary property and one felony count of tampering with a government record.

Grand jury indictments claim Messer stole more than $343,000 cash from the tax office over a three-year period.

Messer later resigned.

Following are the names, ages, charges and dates of alleged offenses of others indicted or re-indicted Wednesday, as released by the District Clerk's Office:
